I've been going through a lot of posts labelled 'philosophy'--first with the hope of finding interesting people to follow who write about things I might find interesting--but I know now For every 50 spammers I might find one post that is worth my while.
Yeah, I made the mistake of looking at what was trending in #philosophy yesterday. Unsure what was more depressing, the bullshit or the spam. Couldn't bring myself to post anything after that.
Yes. Been there. Am still there. I've actually stopped what I consider philosophy for now. Was too much upset by those so-called philosophy posts. Including from the users with 60+ rep who seem to think any rambling can be labelled a such. I guess I shouldn't care so much.

Thanks!
I guess I'll keep creating the kind of content I'd like to see. But I'm also thinking of running some philosophy contests to encourage newbies. Just need to find a financially sustainable model.
LOL, yes, I'm amazed by how people here think that having a higher rep is confirmation that their every word is gold! That might be true in the monetary sense, but it's clear that having the luck or money to be well-established here does not necessarily confer either wisdom or writing ability.
